You know those Little Free Libraries around Jamaica Plain, like the one at the corner of South and Bardwell streets near Curtis Hall? Well, a JP resident wrote to Jamaica Plain News wondering if someone is taking books from a local Little Free Library to sell them.

Jamaica Plain News was recently contacted by a reader who said she had been approached by a Boston park ranger at Jamaica Pond and warned of possible red algae blooms and the effect they may have on dogs. Red algae blooms, or red tide as they are commonly called, may release toxins and cause harm to humans and animals. But thankfully, as of June 16, officials report there did not appear to be a red algae bloom at the pond.
